Abstract

These requirements generally require: (i) non-U.S. financial institutions to enter into agreements with the Internal Revenue Service under which they agree to identify and report U.S. account holders, and (ii) non-U.S. nonfinancial entities to disclose direct and indirect U.S. owners in certain circumstances, and which imposes a 30% withholding tax on certain payments to non-U.S. financial institutions and nonfinancial entities that do not comply with chapter 4's requirements. This Bloomberg Tax Portfolio, FATCA — Information Reporting and Withholding Under Chapter 4 covers the chapter 4 withholding and reporting mechanism; the definitions and requirements chapter 4 places on both foreign financial institutions and nonfinancial entities (including rules under which entities with certain characteristics may qualify for exemption from some or all of chapter 4's requirements); due diligence and reporting; refund procedures; the impact of intergovernmental exchange of information agreements; and specific issues affecting certain industries, such as asset management and insurance.
